PRESENT: Councillor Fairclough
ALSO PRESENT: Councillors Ibbs and Tonkiss
87. APOLOGIES FOR ABSENCE
No apologies for absence were received.
88. DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST
No declarations of interest were received.
89. MINUTES OF THE MEETING HELD ON 19 NOVEMBER 2008
RESOLVED:
That the Minutes of the meeting of the Cabinet Member held on 19 November 2008 be confirmed as a correct record.
90. POWER SUPPLY AND REMEDIATION WORK - SOUTHPORT COMMERCE PARK
The Cabinet Member considered the report of the Planning and Economic Regeneration Director on progress regarding the power and remediation scheme at Southport Commerce Park; and seeking approval to commence the tendering exercise for the appointment of contractors.
The report indicated that currently, two significant barriers prevented further development of the Southport Commerce Park, namely the lack of electrical power supply and land contamination; detailed that the total cost of the works was £3.07 million; and that 100% of the costs would be met from the Regional Development Agency.
RESOLVED:
That Cabinet be requested to:
(1) waive the Contract Procedure Rules of the Constitution to allow for:
(i) non-contestable work to be carried by Scottish Power at a cost of £290,141.58;
(ii) the three power supply companies identified in the report to be invited to tender for the contestable work; and
Page44 5 Agenda Item 3 CABINET MEMBER - TECHNICAL SERVICES- WEDNESDAY 3 DECEMBER 2008
(iii) the appointment of UCE Ltd. as specialist external consultant to undertake the consultancy element of the works; and
(2) following the site investigation works, authorise the appropriate tendering exercise to be undertaken in relation to remediation works.
91. DECLARATION OF AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT AREAS
The Cabinet Member considered the report of the Environmental Protection Director advising that he would be seeking approval to the formal declaration of three Air Quality Management Areas (AQMAs) in Sefton; and indicating that a decision on this matter was required as Local Authorities had a duty under Section 83(1) of the Environment Act 1995 to designate those areas where air quality objectives were unlikely to be met as AQMAs.
The report indicated that analysis of air pollution monitoring data undertaken at three sites concluded that:
• an AQMA for PM 10 must be declared at Millers Bridge • AQMAs for nitrogen dioxide must be declared at Millers Bridge and Princess Way; and • even though the PM 10 Objective was not exceeded in 2007 at Crosby Road North, an AQMA for PM 10 should be declared because future compliance with the objective could not be guaranteed and a sensitive receptor (Waterloo Primary School) was situated in the area;
and concluded by detailing the information and consultation process undertaken in connection with the AQMAs.
Attached as an annexe to the report was a copy of AQMA Numbers 1, 2 and 3 Order 2009.
The Cabinet Member - Environmental, Cabinet and Council would be recommended to approve the three AQMAs.
This was a Key Decision and was included in the Council's Forward Plan of Key Decisions.
RESOLVED:
That the report advising of the three Air Quality Management Areas to be declared in Sefton be noted.
Page45 6 Agenda Item 3 CABINET MEMBER - TECHNICAL SERVICES- WEDNESDAY 3 DECEMBER 2008
92. TECHNICAL SERVICES DEPARTMENTAL SERVICE PLAN MONITORING - QUARTER 2
The Cabinet Member considered the report of the Strategic Director of Regeneration and Environmental Services updating on the performance of the Technical Services Department for 2008/09 and with particular regard to the Service Delivery Plan; and indicating that a decision on this matter was required in order to comply with the Corporate Performance Management procedure.
The report indicated that it was a six monthly update for the department for the period April to September 2008; that the report encompassed the full range of services under the remit of the original department; but however, following the implementation of the Major Service Review and the transfer of services to either Capita Symonds, the Planning and Economic Regeneration Director or the Environmental Protection Director, the content of future performance reports was likely to change.
The report detailed service achievements relating to:
• improving waste management and reducing environmental pollution • improving the condition and safety of local roads and the rail network • ensuring services were accessible to all • safeguarding and enhancing Sefton's cultural, heritage and natural environment • positively responding to public health, food safety and pollution issues • reducing the potential harm from unsafe environments including the prevention of today's young people from becoming tomorrow's problem drug user; together with information relating to performance indicators, corporate and cross cutting issues, risk management and future issues.
Attached as Appendix A to the report was a copy of the Technical Services Departmental Service Plan Monitoring Quarter 2 2008/09, whilst Appendix B detailed a response from Technical Services to the allocation of the National Indicator set.
RESOLVED:
That the performance of the Technical Services Department against the targets set out in the Service Delivery Plan be noted.
93. PARKING SERVICES REVIEW - CHRISTMAS PROMOTIONS
Further to Minute No. 84 of 19 November 2008, the Cabinet Member considered the report of the Planning and Economic Regeneration Director seeking views on Christmas Parking provisions.
Page46 7 Agenda Item 3 CABINET MEMBER - TECHNICAL SERVICES- WEDNESDAY 3 DECEMBER 2008
The report indicated that during the formal consideration of the November 2008 Parking Service Review, the Cabinet and Overview and Scrutiny Committee (Regeneration and Environmental Services) raised the potential for parking promotions (i.e. free/reduced cost parking) to be provided in the run up to Christmas 2008, to support town centre economies at this difficult trading period; that the need for charging in the main centres for parking, both on and off street, was now recognised as an essential tool in managing available capacity, improving accessibility and promoting sustainable modes of transport; and that consequently, in considering Christmas Parking Promotions, the following needed to be taken into consideration:
• good widespread publicity and on site information would be required to ensure visitors were fully aware of the promotion and when an where it applied. Failure to do this could result in negative representations being received;
• any proposals needed to ensure they targeted visitors and shoppers to ensure the wider economic benefits justified the additional expenditure and budget implications;
• depending on the options considered (e.g. free all day parking/free parking after 4.00 p.m./free park and ride etc.), then the impacts on traffic management and ensuring shoppers were the main people to benefit from the offer needed full and careful detailed evaluation; and
• any proposals would undoubtedly require additional input from the Parking Services Team, i.e. administration (orders/notices) and practical measures (parking signs/bagging of machines etc.). This needed to be considered and built into work programmes.
The report concluded that to consider these issues and provide a successful promotion would require careful planning that needed to be developed in consultation with key stakeholders for the individual centres (Business Enterprise/Village groups, Chamber of Commerce etc.); that consequently, for Christmas 2008 this clearly could not be achieved; but however, for 2009 and future years timely further detailed consideration would be given, consultation with stakeholders progressed, and a further report to Cabinet Member - Technical Services submitted at the appropriate time.
RESOLVED: That
(1) the report on the Parking Services Review - Christmas Promotions be noted.
(2) the current difficult economic conditions be recognised and therefore, the Cabinet Member supports the use of promotions to help support local businesses; accordingly further detailed consideration of the options to provide Christmas/other Parking
Page47 8 Agenda Item 3 CABINET MEMBER - TECHNICAL SERVICES- WEDNESDAY 3 DECEMBER 2008
Promotions for 2009 be progressed in consultation with town centre stakeholders; and
(3) thereafter a further report be submitted to the Cabinet Member - Technical Services.
94. EXCLUSION OF PRESS AND PUBLIC
RESOLVED:
That, under Section 100A(4) of the Local Government Act 1972, the press and public be excluded from the meeting for the following item of business on the grounds that it would involve the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined in paragraph 3 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A to the Act. The Public Interest Test has been applied and favours exclusion of the information from the press and public.
95. ARBORICULTURAL WORKS TERM CONTRACT - RECEIPT OF TENDERS
The Cabinet Member considered the report of the Leisure Director on the receipt of tenders for the Arboricultural Tree Works term contact; and providing a brief analysis of the cost and quality of the submissions.
This was a Key Decision and was included in the Council's Forward Plan of Key Decisions.
RESOLVED: That
(1) the Cabinet be recommended to note that to maintain the same standard of arboricultural service will require the budget to increase by approximately 25%;
(2) Cabinet be requested to consider an increase in funding to maintain the same standard of service for arboricultural works as part of the 2009/2010 budget setting process; and
(3) the Finance and Information Services Director be requested to submit a report to future meetings on the use of Section 106 monies or alternative funding sources to help maintain the Council’s tree stock.

REPORT OF: Andy Wallis, Planning & Economic Regeneration Director
CONTACT OFFICER: Mo Kundi 3447
EXEMPT/ No CONFIDENTIAL:
PURPOSE/SUMMARY: To inform Members of the development of the Rural Development Programme for England (RDPE), and the Merseyside Rural Economy Action Plan (MREAP), and to consider the implications for Sefton.
REASON WHY DECISION REQUIRED: To ensure that Sefton Council, and its partners are in a position to access support and funding from the RDPE, and MREAP either through collaborative programmes, or individual Sefton projects.
RECOMMENDATION(S): It is recommended that Members:- 1. Note the content of the report, and that Sefton’s contribution towards the Rural Economy Action Plan can be funded from within existing resources, and 2. Request further regular progress reports.
KEY DECISION: Yes
FORWARD PLAN: Yes
IMPLEMENTATION DATE: Immediately following the call-in period for the minutes of these meetings
Page 11 Agenda Item 4
ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS: The Rural Development Programme for England (RDPE), a successor programme to the Merseyside Objective 1 Programme (European Agricultural GG Fund measures), and the development of a Merseyside Rural Economy Action Plan, would enable the draw down of both European and Regional Development Agency funding either through collaborative programmes, or individual Sefton projects. Failure to pro-actively participate in the development and implementation of these new initiatives would jeopardise Sefton Council’s, its partners’ and the relevant local business’ ability to seek business and financial support.
IMPLICATIONS:
Budget/Policy Framework: The proposals support Sefton’s Corporate Plan and Community strategy objectives for economic development Financial: The development of a Merseyside Rural Economy Action Plan is expected to cost approximately £100,000 of which, £50,000 is being sought from the Regional Development Agency and St Helens Council, (the latter acting as the lead organisation for the sub-region). The balance of £50,000 is being sought from, TMP, Sefton, Knowsley, Wirral, and Liverpool. Sefton Council’s contribution is likely to be £10,000, equally split over financial years 2008/9 and 2009/10. This can be met from existing Economic Regeneration budgets. 2008/ 2009/ 2010/ 2011/ 2009 2010- 2011 2012 CAPITAL EXPENDITURE £ £ £ £ Gross Increase in Capital Expenditure Funded by: Sefton Capital Resources Specific Capital Resources REVENUE IMPLICATIONS Gross Increase in Revenue £5,000 £5,000 Expenditure Funded by: Sefton funded Resources £5,000 £5,000 Funded from External Resources Does the External Funding have an expiry When? date?

LIST OF BACKGROUND PAPERS RELIED UPON IN THE PREPARATION OF THIS REPORT 1) The Rural Development Programme for England 2007-2013
Page 13 Agenda Item 4
1.0 Rural Development Programme for England
1.1. The Rural Development Programme for England (RDPE) is a jointly funded by the European Union, through the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development and the national Government. The Rural Development Programme for England will have a budget of £3.9 billion. This is more than double the budget available for the previous programme, which ran from 2000-2006. Of the £3.9 billion budget, £3.3 billion will be allocated to agri-environment and other land management schemes. This funding is aimed at helping farmers to manage the land more sustainably, and deliver important outcomes on bio-diversity, landscape and access, water quality and climate change.
1.2. The balance of the money, some £600 million is being made available to make agriculture and forestry more competitive and sustainable in rural areas. The Northwest will receive approximately £374 million of the Rural Development Programme for England to invest in the region between 2008, and 2013. The total amount available for the Merseyside sub-region is approximately £2.2m
1.3. The available measures for funding have been divided between three main headings (or axis). There will also be a fourth, cross cutting (or implementation) axis under which the LEADER approach to bottom up locally led projects will be used to implement measures in other axes. The axes are:-
Axis 1- Improving the competitiveness of the farming and forestry sectors (to be delivered via North West Development Agency) • To encourage modernisation and diversification of farm and forestry businesses including adding value to primary produce. • To promote efficiency of resource use such as energy, water, and nutrients. • To develop new markets for products e.g. woodfuel/biomass.
Axes 2 – Improving the environment and countryside (to be delivered via Natural England and the Forestry Commission) • Conserve wildlife and biodiversity. • Maintain the historic environment and cultural heritage. • Promote public access and understanding of the countryside. • Protect natural resources. • Sustainable forest management and the creation of new woodland resources.
Axes 3 – Rural quality of life and diversification of the rural economy (to be delivered via North West Development Agency) • To encourage entrepreneurial and socio-economic activity. • To promote rural tourism, and access. • To develop micro-business, and support rural service provision.
Axes 4 – The LEADER approach which is a cross cutting method
Page 14 Agenda Item 4
• The main mechanism for the delivery of socio-economic priorities of the RDPE in the Northwest is the Leader approach, which is a bottom-up, community-led delivery method. Delivery is undertaken by Local Action Groups who will ensure that supported activities are within the context of the Sub-Regional Implementation Plans already agreed.
2.0 Management of RDPE
1) At National/Northwest Level
2.1 At a national level the RDPE programme will be managed by a Programme Monitoring Committee made up of representatives from DEFRA, Natural England, Regional Development Agencies, and the Forestry Commission. At a Northwest level, a steering group comprising NWDA, Natural England, the Forestry Commission, Government Office North West, and an independent third party chairperson will manage the RDPE programme. The steering group has the responsibility to:-
• Oversee programme delivery in the region. • Review performance and the Regional Implementation Plan. • Monitor cross-axis integration. • Report on performance, programme management issues (focusing on integration, partnership, and best practice) to The Regional Rural Strategic Group, Northwest Rural Affairs Forum, and the National Programme Monitoring Committee. • Capture best practices. • To ensure effective communications.
2) At Merseyside sub-regional level
2.2 At sub regional levels in the North West, the delivery of socio-economic priorities is via the Leader approach, which is a bottom-up, community led delivery method. Delivery is undertaken by Local Action Groups, and in the case of Merseyside the Integrated Countryside and Environment Plan (ICEP) team will manage this group, which is called the Mersey Rural Leader LAG. ICEP is a partnership of five local authorities in Merseyside and a wide range of private, public and environmental organisations, and was created to deliver the rural dimension of the previous Merseyside’s Objective 1 Programme and has proven highly successful in achieving its aims.
2.3 Under the previous Objective 1 Programme ICEP facilitated £6.5 million of EAGGF/DEFRA funding to over 200 businesses in Merseyside and supported over 50 major projects. This public funding levered in an additional £13 million of private sector investment into the region. Some of the projects that Sefton benefited from this funding are included as Annex A to this report.
2.4 The ICEP in partnership with Merseyside local authorities, and stakeholders submitted a bid to the Northwest Development Agency for it to act as a delivery vehicle for that element of the Rural Development Programme as far as it relates to this sub-region. The Annex B below shows the proposed delivery structure. I am pleased to report that in late November 2008, the RDA informed ICEP that its bid was successful. A copy of the full bid can be accessed from ICEP website,
Page 15 Agenda Item 4
www.icep.org.uk A copy of the plan showing the rural areas in Merseyside eligible for funding under this programme is attached as Annex C to this report.
2.5 Annex D provides information on the eligible activities contained in Axis 1 and 3, and the outputs that need to be achieved. Given the limited amount of money available under these two Axis, officers are currently exploring potential projects that could attract some funding.
3.0 Merseyside Rural Economy Action Plan
3.1 Following on from work already undertaken in St Helens, and based on the premise that Merseyside’s rural areas collectively represent an undervalued and underexploited asset with significant economic development, the five Merseyside local authorities together with the Northwest Regional Development Agency (RDA), the Mersey Partnership (TMP) will be commissioning consultants to undertake a major two phase study relating to the Merseyside’s rural economy:-
• Phase 1 – the production of an over-arching Merseyside Rural Economy Strategy to be informed by economic baseline and SWOT analyses, and to include the determination of an integrated strategic governance structure.
• Phase 2 – the production of a detailed, intelligence-led, fully costed integrated Rural Economy Action Plan (REAP) and associated bids to draw down funding and deliver the defined strategy.
3.2 This work is therefore intended to help inform and support the ongoing development and implementation of the Merseyside Action Plan for the City Region (MAP), complement other relevant sub-regional economic development and enterprise related initiatives, and contribute to delivering the Northwest Regional Economic Strategy (RES).
3.-3 This is a major joint commission by the Merseyside local authorities, The Mersey Partnership, and the Regional Development Agency, and as the designated sub- regional lead for the rural economy, St.Helens Council will let and manage the associated contract.
3.4 The study area essentially comprises the green belt and other predominantly non- urban areas of the 5 non-Liverpool Merseyside Local Authorities, i.e. rural and mixed rural-urban wards. Some consideration would however, also be given to any relevant areas of Liverpool plus to demographic, commercial, employment, travel and other links/issues re adjoining parts of Cheshire, Lancashire, Greater Manchester. The precise geography and criteria will be agreed with the chosen consultants.
3.5 The indicative timescale is as follows:- • Send out brief to prospective consultants December 2008 • Deadline for receipt of proposals Monday 5 January 2009 • Consultant selection interviews week commencing 12 January 2009 • Phase 1 inception meeting week commencing 12 January 2009 • Phase 1 Interim report March
Page 16 Agenda Item 4
• Phase 1 draft final report April • Phase 1 completion end of April 2009 • Phase 2 inception May 2009 • Phase 2 completion August 2009
3.6 It is intended that further reports will be presented to Members at the conclusion of each phase.
4.0 Summary 4.1 The national and European funded Rural Development Programme for England would provide £3.9 billion to assist agri-environment and other land management schemes. This funding is aimed at helping farmers to manage the land more sustainably, and deliver important outcomes on bio-diversity, landscape and access, water quality and climate change. Of the £3.9 billon, some £74m is earmarked for the Northwest of England, with Merseyside being allocated some £2.2m. For the purpose of delivery, the Northwest element of the Programme is divided into four axis, with axis 1,3, and for being the responsibility of the Northwest Development Agency, and axis 2 the Forestry Commission.
4.2 The delivery of the Merseyside element of the socio-economic priorities is via the Leader concept, which is a bottom-up, community-led delivery method. Delivery is undertaken by Local Action Groups (LAG), and in the case of Merseyside the Integrated Countryside and Environment Plan (ICEP) team will manage this group, which is called the Mersey Rural Leader LAG. ICEP is a partnership of five local authorities in Merseyside and a wide range of private, public and environmental organisations. ICEP has been informed by the Regional Development Agency that its bid to manage the delivery through Local Actions Groups has been successful, the cost of which would be £399,747 for the period 2008 to 2013. An officer from Council’s Planning and Economic Regeneration Department would sit on the LAG Executive Board.
4.3 For a number of reasons rural areas in Merseyside have generally been undervalued and underexploited, and yet they have significant potential to grow and prosper and add value to the overall economic base of the region. Linked to this is the fact there are significant areas of deprivation in rural areas, which the government has recognised as need addressing. The development of a Merseyside Rural Economy Action Plan as set out in this report provides an opportunity to get a comprehensive picture of the rural economy and to identify actions required. The Regional Development Agency is part funding this study, and has indicated that projects emanating from this Action Plan would be eligible for grant funding from £2m already allocated from the Agency’s single pot budget for rural areas over the next two years.
Page 17 Agenda Item 4
ANNEX A
Previous ICEP facilitated EAGGF/DEFRA funded projects in Sefton
a) Sefton Coast and Countryside Service
Sefton Council's Coast and Countryside Service in conjunction with numerous partners has increased its efficiency and sustainability and provided training for vulnerable people thanks to new forestry equipment for its inclusion programme. The Woodmizer, Chipper, Sawbench and Radial Saw have enabled what may previously have been considered 'waste' timber to be crafted into picnic benches, gates, nest boxes, waymarkers and many other products for use throughout the Council's sites.
By harvesting wood efficiently, the need for imported timber has fallen, reducing transport expenditure, and furthering the Service's sustainability. The timber can also carry the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) label after UKWAS certification was achieved, with support from The Mersey Forest through the Merseyside Objective One programme, for the area of the Sefton Coast Woodlands managed by the Coast and Countryside Service. The FSC logo provides independent assurance to customers that timber comes from sustainably managed woodlands, potentially increasing its market value. The main components were:- • £24,000 ICEP Mersey Forest grant
• £24,000 match funding
• 80% of timber now sourced inhouse
• 6 jobs created
• 7ha woodland improved
b) Sefton Coastal Footpath
Tourism development in the Sefton Coast area has been boosted through a project to re-route lost or vulnerable sections of the Sefton coastal path to restore a fully intact route to attract both residents and visitors. An ICEP Mersey Forest Grant has enabled the footpath to take a sustainable course, well away from areas affected by coastal erosion and sand dune movement, instead passing through the Sefton Coast woodlands with attractive vistas into the open dune landscape and the former asparagus fields.
The project complements the activities of the Sefton Coast Woodlands Forest Plan as improving access to the spinal route on the coast brings additional public benefit to the ongoing investment in sustainable woodland management. • £33,000 ICEP Mersey Forest Grant
• £67,000 match funding
• 4.75km access created
c) WRS Composting Page 18 Agenda Item 4
WRS Composting Ltd of Ince Blundell, Formby, recycles green waste into a soil conditioning compost, an environmentally friendly alternative to peat. With support and funding through ICEP and Business Link Northwest, the company has invested over £1 million in constructing a purpose built site on a farm rented from the Leverhulme Estate. This investment has enabled the company to handle up to 30,000 tonnes of green waste from local authorities and private businesses each year. This investment has lead to:- • 10 jobs safeguarded
• 6 jobs created
• 15,000 sq feet of work space created
• Over £600,000 of private investment
• £200,000 of EAGGF funding

Cabinet Member – Technical Services, 18 June 2008 – Revised Provisional 2009/10 and 2010/11 Local Transport Plan – Technical Services Programmes
Cabinet Member – Technical Services, 22 October 2008 – Revised Technical Services Capital Programme
Page 33 Agenda Item 6
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 As part of the Merseyside Local Transport Plan, each Merseyside District has been charged with preparing a series of strategy documents, covering specific travel modes and other strategic issues. The expectation of the partner authorities in the LTP partnership is that these strategies would be adopted at a district level and would also incorporate district based action/delivery plans.
1.2 One of these strategies relates to Road Safety and the following paragraphs describe how the strategy will be delivered and will identify the main elements of the action plan, covering the remaining period of LTP2.
2.0 SEFTON ROAD SAFETY STRATEGY AND ACTION PLAN
2.1 The Sefton Road Safety Strategy and Action Plan is based on the following themes:
• Partnership and commitment • Physical infrastructure • Promotion and publicity • Education and training • Monitoring, reporting and enforcement
2.2 The Action Plan will be reviewed annually to provide a detailed work programme for the following year and a progress report will be produced and reported to members and other key stakeholders annually each spring.
3.0 Partnership and Commitment
3.1 We want to develop and strengthen our existing partnerships, build new partnerships and establish a shared commitment and enthusiasm for the reduction of recorded injury collisions across the borough.
3.2 There is already a strong partnership ethos between the Merseyside LTP partners and within Sefton. Numerous well-established and effective partnerships have been built up in recent years and it will be important to maintain and develop those partnerships. In particular, the Council and the Primary Care Trust have a very strong record of collaboration on casualty reduction projects. Other key partnerships include:
• Merseyside LTP Partners via its Merseyside Road Safety Planning Group • Merseyside TravelWise • Merseytravel • Sefton’s Safer and Stronger Communities Partnership • Highways Agency • Higher Education colleges • Numerous individual schools • Merseyside Police
Page 34 Agenda Item 6
3.3 The Council aims to maintain and develop its existing partnerships and will seek new opportunities for partnership and joint funding.
4.0 Physical Infrastructure
4.1 We want to identify locations on the highway network where remedial works or improvements can be carried out to reduce and prevent the number of recorded injury collisions and to develop and implement a programme of delivering those improvements.
4.2 Road traffic collision data is compiled by Merseyside Police and is made available to each of the Merseyside Local Authorities on a monthly basis. This enables us to use dedicated computer software to extract collision data and identify locations or routes with high numbers of recorded injury collisions.
4.3 The formulation of all collision remedial scheme programmes is based primarily on the number of recorded injury collisions occurring within the previous three year period. This is to ensure that all available funding is targeted at those areas with the largest collision problem, and to enable the greatest casualty reduction to be achieved.
4.4 Three separate casualty reduction programmes are developed each year:-
• Local Safety Schemes, which introduce casualty remedial measures at junctions with seven or more recorded injury collisions in a three year period. These are identified via an electronic search of the collision database. • Urban Safety Management programme (traffic calming), which introduces speed reducing features in residential areas. These are identified through the division of the Borough into 135 individual cells, each of which are residential areas bounded by main distributor roads. Collision data for each cell is extrapolated from the collision database, and then prioritised in terms of anticipated rate of return, i.e. the cost of the scheme divided by the anticipated reduction in collisions. • Speed Management programme, which identifies main distributor roads, which have high speeds, high collision rates and cause physical barriers to residents living either side who wish to access facilities on the opposite side of the corridor. Schemes are developed along a route, and routes are primarily identified via comments and complaints from the public or Elected Members. Prioritisation takes place using collision data and speed data, weighted by factors such as pedestrian usage, proximity to local services and difficulty in crossing the road.
4.5 In addition to the collation and analysis of collision data, Sefton also maintains a list of sites where requests have been received from residents and visitors for the provision of pedestrian crossing facilities. This list is utilised to identify sites for future facilities, which will assist pedestrians crossing roads and potentially prevent future collisions. All requested locations are reviewed on an annual basis and are prioritised using traffic and pedestrian flows. This primarily identifies sites where traffic signal controlled crossings (Pelican or
Page 35 Agenda Item 6
Puffins) are justified, but also identifies and prioritises locations where simpler pedestrian refuges would be more appropriate.
5.0 Promotion and Publicity
5.1 We want to provide information, raise awareness, give advice on appropriate behaviour and therefore change attitudes towards road safety issues and behaviour on the public highway.
5.2 Sefton has always been very active in road safety promotion and publicity. The Council participates actively in Merseyside initiatives, such as ‘Drink Drive’, seatbelt usage, child car seats and mobile phone usage. These are supported by all the LTP partners, via the Merseyside Road Safety Officers Group, and will often be tied in with the national Department for Transport THINK! Campaigns.
6.0 Education and Training
6.1 We want to carry out a co-ordinated programme of road safety education and training in schools and to the wider community in order to develop road safety skills and awareness which can be used to reduce the number of recorded injury collisions on Sefton’s road network.
6.2 Sefton Council carries out a co-ordinated programme of road safety in schools and to the wider community. Education is a broad based activity, which usually takes place in schools and other educational establishments. It is a gradual process, which may take place over a number of years. Each of the school year groups are targeted with a variety of different educational programmes, such as :-
• Nursery visits to teach basic concepts and vocabulary as well as vital safety advice to parents on parental responsibility and the importance of demonstrating safe behaviour. • In the early autumn a "Conspicuity" session makes Y5/6 pupils aware of the properties of different materials and their personal safety value on darker mornings and evenings.This specifically addresses the increase in pedestrian accidents which occur in the winter months. • To address the problems and difficulties faced by Y7 pupils making new and extended journeys to secondary schools a "transition" programme is offered to help negate the increased risk factors, which are often as a result of peer pressure. • A modular package of lessons is offered to Secondary Schools as a Senior Traffic Course with a view to preparing Key stage 3 pupils with pre driver skills and a positive and informed attitude to safe vehicle use. Core elements of the Course are as follows: - a) Speed and seatbelts b) Vulnerable road users - who is most at risk? c) Accident analysis Risk - who takes the most risks? -Teenagers? d) Alcohol and drug driving
Page 36 Agenda Item 6
e) Are you fit to drive? • Theatre in education (TIE) is an excellent way of teaching Road Safety Education to all ages. Productions are held in primary and secondary schools across the Authority, which are aimed at Key Stages 1, 2, 3 and 4. Research and anecdotal evidence suggests that TIE is an especially effective way of delivering difficult messages to the hard to reach Key stage 4 pupils. TIE teams will visit around 9 schools and deliver the message to around 1,000 pupils.
6.3 Training encompasses a number of different subjects such as:-
• Child pedestrian training which is aimed at year 1 & 2 pupils and is built around teaching the three skills of choosing safe places and routes; crossing safely at parked cars; and crossing safely near junctions. • Child cycle training, which is now delivered across Merseyside by a ‘not for profit’ company called Cycling Solutions. This initiative has recently received national recognition through the provision of additional funding from Cycling England to expand the programme. This has allowed a 33% increase in the number of children receiving cycle training in Sefton to approximately 2000 in 2006/7. During 2007/08 training has been offered to all Y5 children within Sefton. • Adult cycle training to three National Standards :- a) Beginner (Level 1). b) Introduction to on-road cycling (Level 2). c) Advanced training (Level 3). • Mini-bus driver training aimed at schools and colleges within Sefton. Health and safety legislation requires school transport providers and operators, to take all reasonable care to ensure the safety of children transported on school vehicles and journeys. The Road Traffic Act 1991 also makes it an offence to use, cause or permit to be used a vehicle when its condition or purpose for which its being used involves a danger of injury to anyone and as part of that driver assessment and training is essential. Well-trained drivers are safer drivers. Training increases driver awareness, knowledge and skill, reducing the risk to drivers, passengers and other road users. It increases the comfort of passengers and reassures parents that their children are in safe hands. The Travel Awareness and Safety Team currently manages the requirement that drivers (teachers) using a minibus undertake a training programme that consists of a tutor led theory session, followed by a practical driving assessment in a minibus with a qualified Advanced Driving Instructor.
7.0 Monitoring, Reporting and Enforcement
7.1 We want to track the levels of recorded injury collisions within Sefton, measure the rate of reduction to ensure compliance with published casualty reduction targets and report regularly to partners, Elected Members and the public.
7.2 The monitoring and reporting of road traffic collisions has formed a major part of the road safety strategy for many years. Information on recorded injury collisions is obtained on a monthly basis from Merseyside Police and is used
Page 37 Agenda Item 6
to populate a computerised database. Information from the database is used in a number of ways:-
• To identify collision ‘hot spots’, either at junctions or along a route, to form the basis of future casualty reduction programmes. • To measure success (or failure) in meeting casualty reduction targets (40% reduction in Killed or Serious Injuries (KSIs); 50% reduction in child KSIs and 10% reduction in all Slight injuries). These are formally reported as Best Value Performance Indicators 99a,99b,99c and more recently as National Indicator 47 (all KSIs), which is one of the Local Area Agreement targets. • To provide information to developers and colleagues in Sefton’s Development Control Team to assist in Traffic Impact Assessments and to identify any required changes to the highway to accommodate changes in traffic movements arising from proposed developments. • To feed collision data into Sefton’s ‘Breathing Space’ website to allow members of the public access to basic collision information. Certain elements of the data is with-held to maintain confidentiality, but there is enough detail to identify locations, severity and dates to inform residents of the level of collisions within their locality.
7.3 Casualty figures are reported in various ways and frequencies:-
• Every six weeks to the Merseyside Road Safety Planning Group. • Every quarter to Sefton’s Policy and Performance Team (BVPIs 99a,b,c & NI 47). • Every quarter to Sefton’s Safer and Stronger Communities Partnership (NI 47). • Every 12 months to the Local Transport Plan Support Unit to form part of the LTP Annual Progress Report. • Every 12 months to Cabinet Member – Technical Services as part of the annual review and formulation of casualty reduction programmes.
7.4 Enforcement is primarily the responsibility of Merseyside Police, but is co- ordinated via the Merseyside Road Safety Partnership (MRSP). This comprises representatives from each of the five Merseyside Local Authorities, Merseyside Police, Highways Agency and Merseyside Magistrates’ Courts. MRSP will utilise intelligence gained from the collision database and from local Police Basic Command Units to set Police enforcement targets within each Local Authority.
8.0 Conclusions
The Sefton Road Safety Strategy and Action Plan provides the framework for delivering Road Safety education, training and publicity programmes to reduce future road traffic collisions. It also provides a robust method of identifying casualty ‘hot spots’, based on recorded injury collision data, which is then used to formulate future casualty reduction programmes. Regular monitoring of the data will track progress in achieving national casualty reduction targets, and will assist in attracting Capital funding as part of the Local Transport Plan.
Page 38 Agenda Item 6
9.0 CASUALTY REDUCTION PROGRAMMES
9.1 The Cabinet Member has previously considered and approved reports relating to Urban Safety Management, Speed Management, Local Safety Schemes, (Single Sites and Route Action) and Pedestrian Crossings.
9.2 The latest report which was considered and approved at the meeting of this Committee on 6 June 2007, related to the Local Transport Plan - Safety, Speed & Pedestrian Crossing Reviews. Schemes that were identified in that report are complete or are nearing completion. The details contained within this report seeks to set out new programmes of work / investigations for the forthcoming financial year 2009/10 and for future years.
10.0 URBAN SAFETY MANAGEMENT PROGRAMME
10.1 Cabinet Member will be aware that the approved criteria used to develop a programme of traffic calming under the Urban Safety Management Programme involves the following process: -
§ Division of the entire road network within the Borough into “cells” bounded by main distributor roads and / or other natural features.
§ Interrogation of Sefton Council’s Accident Database to identify those cells with five or more recorded injury accidents in the latest three-year study period. Previous assessments have used cells with seven or more recorded injury accidents, however as the majority of residential areas with a poor accident record have already been treated it has been necessary to reduce this figure to five to highlight more cells for the review.
§ Examination of these cells to assess the nature and location of accidents, to permit an initial assessment of the type of traffic calming measures that might be appropriate.
§ Prioritisation of these cells based upon predicted First Year Economic Rate of Return (FYERR), in terms of accident savings. Only Urban Safety Management schemes with an FYERR in excess of 100% are usually considered, i.e. the estimated savings in accident costs is at least the same cost as the proposed remedial measures.
10.2 This process allows an efficient, systematic search of the road network within the Borough to be made, to identify those residential areas and local access roads with the highest and worst accident rates. These areas are then prioritised according to the potential for traffic calming schemes to reduce the accident rate within the available funding.
10.3 Because the schemes identified in previous years are now complete it is now necessary to undertake another review of the Urban Safety Management Programme to develop a three-year programme of traffic calming measures commencing in the next financial year of 2009/10 and up to 2011/12.
Page 39 Agenda Item 6
10.4 The results of the prioritisation process and brief description of accident types and the proposed scheme to address the accidents are shown in the Table contained in Annex A. As can be seen the top three cells yield a relatively high-predicted First Year Economic Rate of Return, these are:
1. Deyes Lane Area, Maghull 2. Portland Street Area, Southport 3. Southbank Road Area, Southport
10.5 Plans of the above three cells are also shown in Annex A
10.6 Members should note that two of the identified areas, namely Portland Street area and Southbank Road area encompass the proposed ‘East-West’ cycle route identified with the Southport Cycle Town Programme.
10.7 At this stage it is unclear which corridor will be chosen for the cycle route, and full consultation with residents will be required over forthcoming months.
10.8 It is therefore proposed that prioritisation of the three schemes will take place later in the current financial year to allow for integration with the proposed cycle route.
10.9 Should the Cabinet Member approve the programme set out above, the relevant Area Committees will be asked to endorse the programme to allow detailed designs to be prepared. Consultation with residents will then commence, with the results being reported back to the relevant Area Committee for final approval of the scheme design.
11.0 SPEED MANAGEMENT PROGRAMME.
11.1 At the meeting of the (then) Technical Services Ratification Committee on 27 March 2002 a three year programme of works to complete the Village Entry Programme was approved, and was as follows: -
2002/03 - Lunt Village - complete
2005/06 - Ince Blundell Village - complete
2007/08 - Sefton Village – approved and to be constructed this year.
11.2 At the meeting of the Cabinet Member - Technical Services on 5 January 2005, the Speed Management Programme for 2005/06, was set out as follows: -
§ Chesterfield Road / Brownmoor Lane / Stuart Road, Crosby.
§ Preston New Road, Southport.
Later examination of the accident data for Chesterfield Road, Brownmoor Lane and Stuart Road, Crosby revealed that the accident numbers had reduced considerably from the initial analysis to only four accidents along the route in the latest three-year study period at that time. This was reported to
Page 40 Agenda Item 6
Cabinet Member – Technical Services on 6 June 2007 and it was agreed to remove the route from the Speed Management Programme.
A scheme of Speed Management for Preston New Road, Southport was consulted upon in 2006 and was approved. The scheme was completed in 2008.
11.3 Since Preston New Road is now complete it is necessary to assess and identify new routes under the Speed Management Programme to progress in future years.
11.4 The Speed Management Programme is aimed at routes and incorporates an assessment process that reviews the effects inappropriate vehicle speeds may have on communities. This assessment, (Speed Management Review), considers the following:
• Numbers of total casualties • Numbers of killed or seriously injured • Numbers of slight casualties • Proportion of child casualties • Speed limit • The 85 percentile speed of traffic, (the speed at which 85% of the traffic is travelling at or less than) • The 99 percentile speed of traffic, (the speed at which 99% of the traffic is travelling at or less than) • Predicted impact of the scheme upon the community
11.5 Routes to be assessed are collated following interrogation of the Road Traffic Collisions database and from requests received from residents and Elected Members. The list of routes assessed is shown in Annex C.
11.6 Members should note that schemes identified from Annex C will fall into two separate programmes:-
• Speed Management Programme – routes which have a high collision record which can primarily be attributed to speeding and high 85%ile speeds, as discussed in paragraph 11.4, and • Route Action Programme – routes which have a high collision record but have a variety of different collision causation factors. These routes will require extensive accident analysis to identify dominant causation factors and suitable remedial measures to prevent re-occurrence.
11.7 Following detailed assessment of both accident numbers, predominant accident type and vehicle speeds along numerous routes the following three routes have been identified for inclusion in the Speed Management Programme for 2009/10 and future years:
1. Lambshear Lane/Kenyons Lane, Maghull 2. Spencer’s Lane / Waddicar Lane, Melling 3. Bankfield Lane / Rufford Road, Southport
Page 41 Agenda Item 6
11.8 All of the other routes contained in Annex C failed to meet the criteria for Speed Management and have subsequently been assessed for detailed investigation for inclusion within future Local Safety Scheme (Route Action) programmes.
11.9 Lambshear / Kenyons Lane, Maghull
11.10 An automatic traffic count carried out in October 2005 for Lambshear Lane, Maghull revealed an 85 th percentile speed of 37 mph. A count undertaken on Kenyons Lane in September 2007 revealed 85 th percentile speeds of 35.9 mph westbound and 40.9 mph eastbound. Both roads are subject to a posted speed limit of 30 mph.
11.11 Two primary schools are located on Lambshear Lane and one primary school is located on Kenyons Lane. Accommodation for the elderly is situated near the bend at Aragon Close in Kenyons Lane, where several of the collisions have taken place. The proposed speed reduction measures would not only save accidents but would have a beneficial impact on the community due to the resultant lower vehicle speeds in the vicinity of the schools and elderly accommodation.
11.12 In addition, there have been many complaints over the years of excessive vehicle speeds and requests for traffic calming for Lambshear Lane have been reported to SEPAC in November 2006 and March 2007.
11.13 The accident record along the Lambshear Lane / Kenyons Lane route revealed the following:
• 14 recorded personal injury accidents of which two resulted in serious injury. • 10 of the 14 recorded personal injury accidents concerned drivers who had shunted into other vehicles or had lost control of their vehicles or were exceeding the speed limit. This figure accounted for 71.4% of the total number of accidents. • Skidding was recorded in 44% of the accidents • Three accidents involved casualties that were under the age of 15. • Three accidents involved pedal cyclists. • Six accidents were in the vicinity of the schools.
11.14 It is anticipated that engineering measures aimed at reducing vehicular speed would address approximately eight of the fourteen-recorded accidents and many of the alleged unrecorded accidents that have occurred at the bend of Kenyons Lane near Aragon Close. This equates to a saving of 2.66 personal injury accidents per year.
11.15 The engineering measures proposed for the route may include:
• Traffic islands/hatching along entire route of Lambshear Lane and a pedestrian refuge outside the schools. • 20 mph School Zone signs on both approaches to the schools on Lambshear Lane. • Traffic islands / hatching for Kenyons Lane
Page 42 Agenda Item 6
• Improved signage and markings throughout the route, (both roads). • Surface treatment for Kenyons Lane on both approaches to the bend.
11.16 It is anticipated that the cost of the scheme would be approximately £110,000. The predicted First Year Economic Rate of Return (FYERR) on the introduction of the above scheme is 217%.
This is calculated as follows:
FYERR = A x B/C x 100% where:
A = Predicted number of accidents saved per annum + B = Average value of prevention per accident* (£89,820) C = Estimated cost of scheme
11.17 Bankfield Lane / Rufford Road, Southport
11.18 In recent years there have been numerous concerns raised by residents and a Ward Councillor regarding vehicles travelling at excessive speed as they approach the bend at the bottom of the bridge of Bankfield Lane.
11.19 In 2006 minor improvements were made to the existing signage and road markings. Signs warning of the bend were mounted on yellow backing boards and ‘Slow’ road markings were painted on the carriageway. However the council still received complaints of drivers losing control of their vehicles resulting in damage to property, this being the garden walls of residential properties and fencing to the factory.
11.20 The latest three-year accident record has revealed eight recorded personal injury accidents, two resulting in serious injuries. Of which:
• Four involved drivers losing control of their vehicles, three at the bottom of the bridge all travelling north. • One concerned a driver reversing from his driveway onto the main road colliding with an elderly pedestrian. • One concerned a driver reversing on the main road and colliding with an elderly pedestrian. • One concerned a motorist colliding with a motorcyclist as they approached the roundabout at Preston New Road both wanting to turn right. • One involved a motorist colliding with a cyclist who entered the road from the footway.
11.21 An automated traffic count located 120m south of the ‘Mallards’ which is at the bottom of the bridge revealed an 85 th percentile speed of 37.7 mph northbound and 35.6 mph southbound. It is in this area where the majority of the ‘damage only’ incidents have occurred. Both Bankfield Road and Rufford Road have a 30 mph posted speed limit.
Page 43 Agenda Item 6
11.22 The northbound speed recorded 120 metres south of the Mallards is approximately at the mid section of the bridge. It is considered that speeds may be even higher at the bottom of the bridge where drivers have lost control of their vehicles.
11.23 It is anticipated that engineering measures aimed at reducing vehicular speed would address approximately four of the eight-recorded accidents and many of the unrecorded accidents that have occurred at the bend at the bottom of the bridge of Bankfield Lane. This equates to a saving of 1.33 personal injury accidents per year.
11.24 The engineering measures proposed for the route may include the following:
• The provision of an advanced vehicle activated sign ‘flashing’ the right- hand bend symbol and the word ‘SLOW’ underneath. This will be positioned on the bridge in advance of the bend.
• Traffic islands / pedestrian refuges and road narrowing hatching spread out along the route between Botanic Road and north of bridge.
• Further improvements to signage and road markings to include the word SLOW adjacent to the vehicle-activated sign.
11.25 It is anticipated that the cost of the scheme would be approximately £70,000 The predicted First Year Economic Rate of Return (FYERR) on the introduction of the above scheme is 171 %.
11.26 Spencer’s Lane / Waddicar Lane, Melling
11.27 In 2003 speed cushions were introduced along the residential 30 mph section of Spencer’s Lane and Waddicar Lane, Melling as a condition of a new housing development in the area. In addition a mini roundabout was also introduced on Waddicar Lane at the junction with Hayes Drive.
11.28 The speed cushions along Waddicar Lane are having a positive effect in reducing vehicle speeds with an 85 th percentile speed of 28 mph recorded north of the mini-roundabout. However there is a cluster of five accidents at the mini-roundabout that suggests that this feature is not providing the desired reduction in accident numbers. In addition, the speed restriction for Spencer’s Lane was reduced from 60 mph to 40 mph due to allegations of excessive vehicle speeds and the number of accidents that were occurring. Improved signage on high visibility yellow backing boards and speed count down markers were introduced. Whilst these measures have reduced the number of recorded injury collisions, the current collision data would suggest a need for further speed reduction measures.
11.29 The latest three-year accident record has revealed twelve recorded personal injury accidents for Spencer’s Lane and Waddicar Lane, up to and including the mini-roundabout on Waddicar Lane at Hayes Drive. Two resulting in serious injuries and two resulting in fatal injuries. Of which:
Page 44 Agenda Item 6
• Four accidents involved drivers or riders losing control of their vehicles on Spencer’s Lane. Two resulted in serious injuries and two resulted in fatal injuries. Excessive speed was recorded as a causation factor in some of these accidents.
• Speed was also considered to be partly to blame for the other two accidents that occurred on Spencer’s Lane. One involved a young motor- cyclist pulling out of a side road into the path of a passing car and the other concerned a driver turning right into the path of a passing vehicle. Slower vehicle speed along the major road may have possibly prevented these two accidents.
• Four of the five accidents that occurred at the mini-roundabout on Waddicar Lane at Hayes Drive concerned car drivers pulling out into the path of cyclists or cyclists pulling out into the path of car drivers. Another accident concerned a driver losing control of his vehicle on the bend at the junction of Waddicar Lane and Spencer’s Lane and then ending up in a ditch. The last accident concerned a young pedestrian walking out into the path of a car overtaking a bus. This occurred 54 metres south of the mini roundabout.
11.30 It is anticipated that engineering measures aimed at reducing vehicular speed would address approximately six of the twelve-recorded accidents that have occurred in the latest three-year study period. This equates to a saving of 2.00 personal injury accidents per year.
11.31 The engineering measures that would address these accidents are as follows:
• Traffic islands and hatching along the whole length of Spencer’s Lane. • Vehicle activated signage warning of the bends advising road users to slow down on both approaches to the bend before and after the bridge over the M57 motorway. • Modification of the mini-roundabout junction at Hayes Drive. • Further improvements to signage and lining as necessary.
11.32 It is anticipated that the cost of the scheme would be approximately £100,000.
The predicted First Year Economic Rate of Return (FYERR) on the introduction of the above scheme is 180%.
12.0 LOCAL SAFETY SCHEME INVESTIGATIONS (SINGLE SITES & ROUTES)
Single Site Investigations
12.1 A list of single sites with seven or more recorded injury accidents in the three- year study period of 1 August 2005 to 31 July 2008 is included in Annex B. The following list is the recommended Programme of Investigations for 2009/10 for possible prioritisation under the Local Safety Scheme Programme: -
Page 45 Agenda Item 6
12.2 Single Site Programme of Investigations for 2009/10
1. Marsh Lane / Stanley Road Junction, Bootle 2. A59 Northway / Hall Lane, Maghull 3. Ormskirk Road / Aintree Lane junction, Aintree 4. A565 Formby Bypass / North End Lane, Hightown 5. Marine Drive / Marine Parade, Southport
12.3 Detailed investigations will be carried out for the sites listed above that have been identified from this latest review. Any resulting schemes will form the basis of the 2010/11 Programme of Works, subject to further reports to Cabinet Member – Technical Services.
13.0 SINGLE SITE PROGRAMME FOR 2009/10
13.1 Prescot Road / Bank Lane junction, Melling.
13.2 Cabinet Member may recall that at the meeting of SEPAC 19 th July 2007, Members supported the proposed junction improvement at Prescot Road / Bank Lane, Melling. This has now been included as part of the Local Transport Plan Capital Programme.
13.3 This report considered a number of options and it was recommended that a conventional roundabout be introduced. This would force road users to slow down to negotiate the roundabout and also ease congestion that was particularly problematic during peak times.
13.4 The latest three-year accident record has revealed 13 personal injury accidents within a 100m radius of the junction, one involved serious injury. However more recently there has been a fatal accident involving a collision between a car and a motorcyclist. This occurred outside the petrol station in October 2008.
13.5 Since the report, preliminary design work and acquisition of land has progressed and the works have been programmed to commence in 2009/10.
14.0 ROUTE ACTION INVESTIGATIONS
14.1 The locations of accidents were plotted using data for the latest three-year study period of 1 August 2005 to 31 July 2008. Those routes with a history of accidents spread along their length were identified. Particular attention was given to the number of killed or serious injury accidents (KSI), predominant accident type and the 85 th percentile speed, (the speed at which 85% of drivers are travelling at or below). A list of the sites is included in Annex C.
The routes identified are as follows: -
14.2 Route Action Programme of Investigations 2009/10
• Cemetery Road / Eastbourne Road, Southport. (28 accidents / 8 KSI) • Glovers Lane/ Fleetwoods Lane, Netherton. (27 accidents / 3 KSI) • Meols Cop / Norwood Road, Southport.
Page 46 Agenda Item 6
• Ash Street/Rose Hill/St. Luke’s Road, Southport. (22 accidents / 2KSI) • Linacre Lane, Litherland. (17 accidents / 3 KSI) • Park Lane, Netherton. (21 accidents / 2 KSI). • College Road, Crosby. (13 accidents / 1 KSI) • Hart Street, Southport. (17 accidents / 4 KSI)
14.3 Detailed investigations will be carried out at the eight routes listed above that were identified from the review. Any resulting schemes will form the basis of the 2010/11 Programme of Works, subject to further reports to Cabinet Member – Technical Services.
15.0 Route Action Programme for 2009/10
15.1 Three routes have been previously investigated and identified for progression in 2009/10, these are:
1. Southport Road / Bailey Drive, Netherton 2. Scarisbrick New Road, Southport. 3. Southport Road, Lydiate.
15.2 With regard to Scarisbrick New Road, Southport a brief has been forwarded to the Capita Symonds. It is anticipated that work will start on site in the new financial year 2009/10.
15.3 Bailey Drive / Southport Road, Netherton was identified as a Local Safety Scheme - Route Action. Measures will include the provision of ‘Vehicle Activated Signs’ along the route. Work is programmed to start on site in the new financial year 2009/10.
15.4 Southport Road, Lydiate was identified as a Speed Management Scheme and consultation with residents and businesses along the route commenced in December 2008. Speed reduction measures include the introduction of mini- roundabouts at the junction with Moss Lane and Pilling Lane; traffic islands and pedestrian refuges along the route; a reduction in the speed limit from 60 mph to 40 mph near the Scotch Piper P.H.; and a number of ‘Vehicle Activated Signs’ along the route. Subject to a successful consultation and subsequent approval by Area Committee, it is anticipated that work will start on site after April 2009.
16.0 TRUNK ROAD ACCIDENT INVESTIGATIONS (SINGLE SITES & ROUTES)
16.1 Single Site Investigations
16.2 A list of trunk road sites with seven or more recorded injury accidents in the latest three-year study period is included in Annex D. It is recommended that the Highways Agency be made aware of the routes and request that they should investigate the following junctions in 2009/10 with a view of improving road safety at these junctions:
16.3 Trunk Roads - Recommended Single Site Programme of Investigations 2009/10
Page 47 Agenda Item 6
1. A5036 / A59 / M57 / M58 Switch Island / Ormskirk Road 2. A5036 Dunningsbridge Road / Copy Lane 3. A5036 Church Road / Hawthorne Road 4. A5036 Dunningsbridge Road / Park Lane West 5. A5036 Dunningsbridge Road / Netherton Way 6. A5036 Princessway / Church Road roundabout 7. A5036 Dunningsbridge Road / Heysham Road
16.4 Trunk Roads – Recommended Route Action Programme of Investigation 2009/10
1. A5036 (between Switch Island and A565 Crosby Road South), Seaforth.
Note: The A5036 is the only trunk road in the borough.
16.5 The Highways Agency will be contacted with a recommendation that casualty reduction for the A5036 is investigated in 2009/10.
16.6 It is worthy of note that the Highways Agency is currently undertaking a route signing strategy with Consultants A One + along the whole length of the A5036 and this should be completed in 2009.
17.0 PEDESTRIAN CROSSING REVIEW
17.1 The Pedestrian Crossing Review would normally be reported to Cabinet Member along with the Urban Safety Management Review, Local Safety Schemes – (Single Sites and Routes) and the Speed Management Review. However due to the demands on our automatic traffic counters that are used to gather the data necessary for calculating the PV 2 it has not been possible to progress the review and report the findings in time for this meeting. Therefore this will be reported to a future meeting of Cabinet Member – Technical Services.
18.0 CONCLUSION
18.1 It is therefore proposed that the following Schemes be progressed in priority order through the following programmes in coming financial years commencing in 2009/10, detailed programmes being dependant on Capital Allocation.
Urban Safety Management Programme
1. Deyes Lane Area, Maghull 2. Portland Street Area, Southport 3. Southbank Road Area, Southport

• £300,000 – Local Safety Schemes – Single site and route action.
• £150,000 - Speed Management Programme
• £40,000 – Pedestrian Crossings
19.2 Similar allocations will be required in 2009/10 and future years to maintain progress towards Local Area Agreement targets for casualty reduction rates within the Borough, and block allocations for all Road Safety programmes currently equates to:-
2009/10 - £598,700 2010/11 - £653,000

ANNEX A Urban Safety Management Review 2009/10
Traffic Calming Priority List
Notes
In assessing each cell, (there are 135 cells in total for the whole of Sefton MBC), personal injury accident records are examined to determine the nature and location of each accident, and to identify those, which can be addressed by traffic calming techniques. Those areas where accidents are clustered at specific locations such as at junctions along a route can then also be highlighted for the progression of alternative, more cost effective measures such as the route action programme.
The predicted First Year Economic Rate of Return (FYERR) on the introduction of a scheme is used for initial prioritisation of the traffic calming cells. This is calculated as follows:
FYERR = A x B/C x 100% where:
A = Predicted number of accidents saved per annum + B = Average value of prevention per accident* (£89,820) C = Estimated cost of scheme
+ Predicted accident savings are based on those that have been achieved using similar measures elsewhere in the Borough.
* Average cost per injury accident including an allowance for damage only accidents for all roads / all hours. Source: Department for Transport 2007 Highways Economic Note No.1- currently costing £89,820 per accident.
The following table, Annex A is a summary of the assessment of each cell containing five or more recorded personal injury accidents in the three years 1 st August 2005 to 31 st July 2008.
The First Year Economic Rate of Return (FYERR) has been estimated on an assessment of the treatable accidents only.
In some cells it was determined that it was either not feasible to treat the type of accidents that have occurred, or it was found that the accidents were centred at junctions or along main distributor roads that formed the boundary of the cell. These accidents are better treated as a ‘single site’ or as a route action site.

Page 71 Agenda Item 7
1.0 Introduction
1.1 The original 2008/09 Local Transport Plan (LTP) Technical Services Capital Programme had a degree of overprogramming, to accommodate the management of the programme and to ensure a full spend was achieved. On 22 October, Cabinet Member – Technical Services approved amended funding allocations for individual schemes within the 2008/09 Technical Services Capital Programme. These amended funding allocations reflected the financial and programme position of the Programme at that time.
1.2 This report aims to clarify the current financial position of the 2008/09 Technical Services Capital Programme and proposes amendments that will ensure that the Programme is balanced and on target to achieve the Single Capital Pot and direct grant allocations.
1.3 The Chapel Street Pedestrianisation Scheme is now complete and the issue in respect to a claim for additional payments by the contractor involved has now been resolved thus allowing the final account for the scheme to be settled in this financial year.
1.4 The new Park & Ride at Kew in Southport is also complete and payments will be made in 2008/09 to a level in accordance with contract management procedures. However, the final account has yet to be settled due to the ongoing consideration of a claim for additional payments by the contractor involved. An assessment of the progress of discussions with the contractor would indicate that a resolution of the claim and hence settlement of the final account for the scheme is now likely to occur in 2008/09. However, there is a potential for this situation to result in a slippage in expenditure of £104,830 into 2009/10. This situation will be closely monitored and future reports will advise Cabinet Member – Technical Services of the up to date situation in respect to progress in settling the final account for this scheme.
1.5 As reported to Cabinet Member – Technical Services on 22 October 2008, the planned footway and carriageway improvements on Hawthorne Road between Church Road and the Railway Bridge are now unlikely to be carried out until early in 2009/10 resulting in a potential slippage in expenditure of the available funds for the Hawthorne Road Maintenance Project in 2008/09 with an estimated £258,225 being carried forward into 2009/10 and later years. In addition, the planned footway and carriageway improvements on Hawthorne Road between the Railway Bridge and Harris Drive are not now programmed to commence until February 2009, which will result in the works not being completed until April 2009. This will result in an increase in the previously reported potential slippage in the expenditure of the available funds for the Hawthorne Road Maintenance Project in 2008/09 with an estimated further £141,300 being carried forward into 2009/10. This equates to a total of £399,525 potentially being carried forward into 2009/10 and 2010/11.
1.6 All expenditure in 2008/09 will be contained within the 2008/09 LTP Transportation Capital Programme.

TOTAL £3,352,440
3.2 At the meeting of 24 January 2008 Cabinet approved the release of £300,000 in 2008/09 and £1m in 2009/10 to the programme from prudential borrowing for the Hawthorne Road scheme. However, further progress in future years will be dependent on the replacement from the Maintenance Block of £150k from the Hawthorne Road Supplementary Allocation utilised for highway drainage in 2005/06. The scope for utilising Section 106 funding to support the Hawthorne Road project is also being explored. Any additional funding required to complete
Page 74 Agenda Item 7
the overall project will need to be met from Transportation Capital Programme allocations in future years.
3.3 Whilst the intention has always been to implement footway and carriageway improvements in respect to the section of Hawthorne Road between Church Road to the Railway Bridge as soon as possible, these works have to be co- ordinated with the works planned to be carried out by Tesco along the same section of highway as part of the development of their new store. These works are now unlikely to be carried out until early in 2009/10. As a result, this situation will result in a potential slippage in expenditure of the available funds for the Hawthorne Road Maintenance project in 2008/09 with an estimated £258,225 being carried forward into 2009/10 and later years. In addition, the planned footway and carriageway improvements on Hawthorne Road between the Railway Bridge and Harris Drive are now not programmed to commence until February 2009, which will result in these works not now being completed until April 2009. This will result in an additional increase of £141,300 to the already identified potential slippage of the available funding for the overall Hawthorne Road project being carried forward into 2009/10. This results in the total potential slippage in expenditure in 2008/09 of the available funds for the Hawthorne Road project now being £399,525 and equates to an estimated total of £256,776 being carried forward into 2009/10 and £142,749 being carried forward into 2010/11.

4.0 Thornton to Switch Island Link Scheme
4.1 The Thornton to Switch Island Link received Programme Entry as a major scheme in the Local Transport Plan process on 15 th September 2008. As a result, the scheme is now being progressed with completion on site programmed to be November 2012. Details of the next steps in the development of the project were reported to Cabinet on 2 nd October 2008. A further report to Cabinet Member – Technical Services early in 2009 will seek approval for a detailed spend profile for the scheme for the financial years 2008/09 and 2009/10.
5.0 Integrated Transport Programme
5.1 The proposed revised 2008/09 Integrated Transport Programme is detailed in the table in Annex A. The various block allocations are highlighted together with any revised scheme costs. Explanations in respect to proposed changes to the Programme as approved by Cabinet Member – Technical Services on 22 October 2008 are alphabetically referenced and listed below.
Scheme Explanations
A Mount Pleasant/Oxford Road, Waterloo It is proposed to increase the 2008/09 allocation for the scheme from £143k to £144.34k to reflect the latest cost estimates.
B Preston New Road – Speed Management and Cycling It is proposed to increase the 2008/09 allocation for the scheme from £250k to £253k to reflect the latest cost estimates.
C Sefton Village – Speed Management It is proposed to increase the 2008/09 allocation for the scheme from £90k to £93.44k to reflect the latest cost estimates
D Crosby 6 – Dibbs Lane ROW It is proposed to allocate £5k to complete the design in respect to proposed improvements to this Public Right of Way in preparation for the potential delivery of works in future years.
E Trans Pennine Trail – Pontins Diversion It is proposed to increase the 2008/09 allocation for this cycling scheme from £26k to £30k to reflect the latest cost estimates.
Page 76 Agenda Item 7
F School Travel Plans It is proposed to increase the allocation for School Travel Plans from £60k to £63k in order to provide additional cycle storage at Formby High School.
G Kew Park and Ride The new car park at Kew was completed in 2007 and is now fully operational. However, the final account has yet to be settled due to the ongoing consideration of a claim for additional payments by the contractor involved. As identified in paragraph 1.4, there is a potential for a slippage in expenditure of £104,830 into 2009/10. However, the latest assessment of progress in respect to discussions with the contractor indicates that a resolution of the claim and hence settlement of the final account for the scheme is still likely to occur in 2008/09. All expenditure in 2008/09 will be contained within the 2008/09 LTP Transportation Capital Programme and future years programmes will take account of any additional funding requirements for settling the final account for the scheme.
H Kew Park and Ride Bus Service Improvements It is proposed to allocate £39k in this financial year in order to part fund improvements to the Kew Park and Ride Bus Service as approved by the Southport Area Committee on 3 December 2008. These improvements will enable the Kew P&R bus service to operate along Scarisbrick New Road in both directions and serve the Southport Hospital and King George V College sites from 4 th January 2009. The LTP funding will be used to install an addition automatic bollard system at the Kew car park site. Other improvements in the form of new bus stops situated close to the hospital and college sites will be funded by developer contributions.
I Chapel Street Pedestrianisation The Chapel Street Pedestrianisation Scheme is now complete and the issue in respect to a claim for additional payments by the contractor involved has now been resolved thus allowing the final account for the scheme to be settled in this financial year. On the basis of this settlement it is proposed to reduce the allocation for the scheme in 2008/09 from £450k to £261.91k. This takes account of the ERDF Objective 1 funding currently available for the scheme.
J Advanced Design and LTP Co-ordination It is proposed to reduce the overall allocation for Advanced Design and LTP Co-ordination Forward Planning in 2008/09 from £117k to £101k consisting of £40k for LTP Co-ordination and £61k for advanced design. The Advanced Design and LTP Co-ordination Planning Block no longer includes an allocation for Kew Park and Ride Bus Service Improvements scheme as this is now identified separately in the Forward Planning programme.
K A565 Route Management Study It is proposed to increase the allocation for the development of the strategy £10k to £20k in this financial year to fund required feasibility work.
Page 77 Agenda Item 7
The proposed revisions to the allocations for the schemes identified will reduce the overall Integrated Transport Programme from £3,012,760 to £2,877,450. As in previous years, it is proposed to retain a degree of overprogramming (£29,450) in order to assist in the management of the budget although all spend will be contained within the 2008/09 Transportation Capital Programme. Progress will be closely monitored on a monthly basis and any further adjustments will be reported for approval during the rest of the financial year.
6.0 Highway Maintenance and Street Lighting Programmes
6.1 The 2008/09 Highway Maintenance and Street Lighting Programmes were approved by Cabinet Member – Technical Services on 26 March 2008.

6.2 The proposed revised 2008/09 Highway Maintenance and Street Lighting Programmes are submitted for approval. The programmes are set out in detail in Annex A. A degree of over-programming (£12,455) has been retained to assist with the management of the budget. However, all spend will be contained within the 2008/09 Transportation Capital Programme.
7.0 Highway Structures Maintenance Programme
7.1 The 2008/09 Highway Structures Maintenance Programme was approved by Cabinet Member – Technical Services on 12 March 2008.

Updated cost estimates for Dunnings Centre and Waterloo Railways (5 Lamps) will result in a further reduction of the total PRN allocation for 2008/09 from £235k to £215k.
7.3 A proposed revised 2008/09 Highway Structures Maintenance Programme is set out in detail in Annex A and submitted for approval. The revised programme is under-programmed by £12,685 and all spend will be contained within the 2008/09 Transportation Capital Programme.

SECTION 116 HIGHWAYS ACT 1980 - STOPPING UP OF HIGHWAY
1.0 Information / Background
1.1 An application has been received from Cosmopolitan Housing Association, Cosmopolitan House, 2 Marybone, Liverpool, L3 2BY for the stopping-up of a area of highway within the Borough, as shown upon the attached plan numbered DC0234
1.2 The stopping-up application relates to an area of highway which is considered unnecessary and would be expedient for the Council to make an application to the Magistrate Court on the basis that there are at present or will be, a reasonable suitable alternative in place.
1.3 The application details and justification/reasons for making the application to the Magistrates Court is as follows.
1.4 Plan No DC0234 – Bedford Road and Wadham Road, Bootle – The stopping-up of the passageways in question will facilitate the redevelopment of the area to enable the construction of a new housing layout as part of the HMRI programme within Sefton.
1.5 The Ward Councillors have been notified in respective of the application and have made no comment to-date.
2.0 s116 Highways Act 1980 Procedure and Magistrates Court Hearing
2.1 Under Section 117 of the Highways Act 1980, a person desiring a highway to be stopped-up may request the Highway Authority (in this case the Council) to make an application to the Magistrates Court for a stopping-up Order. If the request is granted the Council may as a condition, require the person to pay such costs, as it deems reasonable in connection with the application.
2.2 The Council must give 28 days notice of the Court Hearing specifically to adjoining owners/occupiers and statutory undertakers and in addition, must publish notices in a local newspaper, the London Gazette and also display a site notice.
2.3 Any person who receives the notice referred to above, or uses the highway or who would be aggrieved by the stopping-up, has a right to be heard at the Court Hearing of the application.
2.4 The Court may make the stopping-up Order if it appears that the highways are unnecessary for the public for the sort of lawful purposes for which the public could be reasonably expected to use that particular way. If there is evidence of such use the Court will need to be satisfied that the public are, or are going to be, provided with a reasonably suitable alternative way. If the Court makes the Order, its effect is to end the right of the public to use it as a highway.
2.5 It is considered in the case of the application contained within this report, that it is appropriate for the stopping-Up Order to be requested from the Magistrates Court under s116 of the Highways Act 1980, as the highway is in essence redundant and unnecessary together with there being reasonable suitable alternative in place within the existing highway network.

1.0 BACKGROUND
1.1 During construction works to lay foundations for an extension to their property, the owners of no.42 Mersey Avenue, Maghull have encroached onto Maghull Footpath No.8. The extension will form a boundary to the footpath and as a result the foundations are immediately adjacent to the footpath.
1.2 The foundations of the footpath have been affected by the adjacent construction works, which has resulted in sections of the footpath being under-mined, and the surface has lifted and cracked.
1.3 The footpath provides a link from Deyes Lane to Mersey Avenue. It runs along the western boundary of no.42 Mersey Avenue, and has a width of approximately 2.6 metres. The footpath is well used as a link to the residential area to the north of Deyes Lane
1.4 In view of the location of the adjacent excavation works at no.42 Mersey Avenue, the limited width of the footpath, the already evident damage to the footpath, and the extent of pedestrian traffic it is necessary to temporarily close the footpath to all users in the interests of public safety.
1.5 An Emergency Temporary Closure Order has already been issued to close the footpath to all users. This only allows a period of 21 days for a closure, which is why Cabinet Member is being asked to approve the six month closure.
1.6 Officers have agreed that the footpath should remain closed to enable the excavation works to be completed and the footpath repaired.
2.0 RECOMMENDATION
2.1 It is recommended that Maghull Footpath No.8 be closed to all users in the interests of public safety, to enable the excavation and constructions works at no.42 Mersey Avenue to be completed, and the necessary structural works and repairs to be carried out on the footpath. The closure is required from 14 th January 2008 for a maximum period of six months, or until the works have been completed, whichever is the earlier.
2.2 The diversion route for pedestrians is via Moss Lane and Douglas Drive
